Explanation

Moderate apical ischemia is a medical term that refers to a condition where the tip of the heart, known as the apex, is not getting enough blood supply. This is usually due to blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. The term "moderate" indicates that the condition is not mild, but also not severe. This lack of blood can damage the heart muscle and affect its ability to pump blood effectively.
